Mezzanine Audiobook Summary
An inventive and assured debut from an exciting new voice in poetry.
In her striking collection of poems, Zoe Hitzig investigates how we seek certitude, power, and domination over the natural world and one another. Hitzig brings a scientific rigor to her poetry, as well as a raucous energy and willingness to allow her work to exist in states of uncertainty and precariousness. The result is an original voice that is incisive and unsparing, but also passionate and tender. Her poems probe the authority of language, exploring the surprising and powerful resonances that can be found among words and ideas.
Urgent in its creation of a new way of looking at our social and natural worlds, Mezzanine is an insightful and visceral debut collection from a poet whose work is poised to leave a lasting mark.

I scanned the author bio prior to reading this collection of poetry and I was surprised to discover I was holding a book of verse composed by a PhD candidate in economics at Harvard. If you're wondering, like I was, what sort of poems would result from the creative impulses of (what I'm assuming is) a disciplined and scientifically-oriented mind, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised. If Hitzig is as gifted an economist as she is a poet, she's certain to enjoy a tremendous amount of success in two careers. I particularly liked the poet's creativity in exploration of form, especially in the four-part "Fragments from the Imagined Epic: The Island of Stone Money." Surprisingly, the most impressive aspect of the book for me occurred in the Endnotes, where Hitzig shared inspirations and explanations for various poems in the collection. Her notes gave me an even greater appreciation for her intellectual curiosity and research skills, including an admiration for her interest in The Innocence Project.The only thing preventing me from rating the book any higher is my frequent inability to understand what I'm reading. As a recreational user of poetry, I may not possess the necessary intellectual skills to absorb everything that is going on here.

An amazing group of poems that I find hard to describe. They are fresh, immediate, elusive and utterly captivating. (A poem about Have Blue -- I wasn't expecting that!). I have marked this book as "Read," but it is by no means finished. I will return to its puzzles and delights again soon, when I will vacillate between mining the text for meaning and surrendering to the sheer beauty of the words.

Mezzanine is an ideal collection to enjoy as we focus on poetry in April (as well as anytime). Zoe Hitzig arranges words and images with punch and vitality. I’m always pleased to find new poetic voices, and I hope to read more from Hitzig soon. Recommended for poetry lovers.

Pure creative energy somehow trapped in words. Love the themes of decay, nature, and technology.
